hurry up......no! don't read it..........oh...


All BOYS WANNA HAVE FUN…..

…… WHAT’S UP THERE………

NICE TO MEET YOU ALL GUYS….

Thanks for spend your time to read my write. I’ll still remember, the first day in foundation class, (remember back) …all of us was ignored to the others. Just do our own job. Moreover in there, I only knew a lot of the students especially my best friend Nizam, Izuddin, Shaker and Bram and the others may be had seen but do not to closed. And then ……jeng...Jeng...Jeng …a miracle had happened, after the ice breaking session, all of us can join together and be closed to the others as a family. As like as “akademi fantasia” it should be conduct with someone to handle all the program and activities in the class. So, the first lecture that was conducted and teaches my class is Puan Syarifah and then had been taken by Miss Rajina after a day. I think I like this class”foundations class” and I like to call it as an “English camp”. Ha ha…. How is it? Ok? Seems like I’m in standard six (my English camp). All the activities are like that... But it more fun than here. It has a Halloween party and the entire student looks very nice with their own costume……. (Still children ….he he)... Before that, thanks to Miss Rajina because patience to teach us...we loved you very much..

Thank you very much……

The activities……

All the activities are very challenging, interesting and I really sure that all my friends enjoy sacrifice their holiday and stay in campus to join and take this foundation class… The activities is not only a formal class (all the student just sit down and just hear what the lecture goanna teach) and I think more than 20% was sleeping… (haha...) In this program prepared a lot of fun activities such as language camp, listening program in the internet, and then presentation about our project and I think this is the best activities, which is English drama competition. I know the entire program can give more benefit for us in the future. During job world or when we have an interview, all the activities here is so important. It makes us be more confident during interviewing session and do not be afraid to answer the question.

Talk about drama, we know the popular artist born from the drama competition, and maybe one of us is the pearl between the glass and maybe goanna be the top actor or actress in Malaysia one day… (He he ,) my class had been chosen CINDERRELLA as the drama to be present in 22nd June 2006 in Dewan Anwar Mahmud in UKM.. And I hope we will win the competition……….. I goanna be the director of these drama and I hope all of my class mates can give their best commitment for our drama.

Is it for our carry marks too……

Thanks for your attention….

assignment 2 task 2

In the dream


Dream ……I think all of us have our own dream. For me I’ve my own dream and I hope my dream become true one day. Talk about the task, when I entered the web side and I saw many title or topic to listen. I just saw one topic that really familiar and closed to me. It is ‘in the dream’. I like this topic and I hope that it is interesting to hear. It’s true.
It is about how dream make benefit to the dreamers.

Actually this is my first experience in this program. Usually, when I heard to the communicator and my emotion felt down because it hard to understand. May be, the slang are different between us and the communicator. The pronunciation is very different but I’ll try again and give all my attention to follow word by word. He spoke very fast and I can’t follow the word one by one because of it. I think I still not familiar with it. That’s why I felt like that. Finally I understand what the communicator tries to tell me. When I refer back to the tape script, I think they used a simple word and simple language but when they were spoken it different sound. In there I know that I learned a new thing that’s slang. Besides that, I’ve learned more vocabulary and new word that I never heard before. If I can’t understand some word I refer to the dictionary. It is so important for me when I’m studying English. I think I like this session because it trains me to understand the slang and the speaking skills. But I’m still confused about the differentiation between British slang and US slang. I think I want to study more about the slang and I want to be apart of the expert Malaysians that can speak English in both slang. I hope my experience could help me in my future.

Based to the topic, I really agree with David Crystal. I think who was listened it was agree with him too. Everyone can dream. Dream makes you be the best and try to get it. I hope all of our dreams become true one day.

Never stop dreaming because dream make you change your life but do not dream without do something to get your dream.




Be the best among the best

Task 1

Hello listen up to my heart…………
My opinion on my listening experience


‘WICKED’


Wicked? What is it about? It is same meaning like a wish? May be. No! It not likes that. It’s different between both of them. That is my first impression about this topic when I opened this web site. I felt that the topic was told about something weird. But its wrong. It not likes that. It told me that wicked means:
Intensely or extremely bad or unpleasant in degree or quality
Intensely or extremely bad or unpleasant in degree or quality
So, my first impression is wrong. That’s why don’t judge someone by its cover.

Normally, as usual as I am, when I listen to the communicator in there, I’m still having the same problem but a little bit easy to understand. The problem is listening problem. The communicator speak very fast and I could not followed and catch up the word that he said. Besides, the same problem as task one is slang. I can’t listen clearly what the word that he say’s. And I still confuse about that. When I refer to the tape script and then I can understand. For me the passage is too simple to understand but when I was listening to the communicator it’s different and I think that the slang is my problem in my listening skills.
Actually, I don’t like to hear something in English because it hard to understand. Such as listen to English song or English movie. I can’t understand it. The slang is usually my problem. I think I should change my mind about this. After this I want to enjoy English song and movie. I hope when I done this, it can make me be better in my listening skills.

Based to my entire problem, I suggest to management department to think about it and solve this problem for the new student in the future when they have to take foundation class like me. So, if this problem settle I think that all of the student that have a listening problem can become the better than what they are.

Thank you………..

assignment 1

ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES IN ENGLISH FOUNDATION CLASS

My achievement in learning English
HEY…….
__________________________________________________________________

First of all, I want to thanks very much to all of the UKM Management Department for the English foundation class that was held for the band 1 and 2 students in UKM. This class give more advantage to the student who still not good in their English skills. It train all the student in more ways and polish their skills and their talent. Thank you very much. I really hope that the entire student can get and use all the experiences in their future.
Thank you.

About the class…….

When we talk about the class, I sure that all of the entire student really like whole the activities that have done. For me, I like whole activities that were done. No more stress, no more tension and no more cried. I enjoyed all the activities and give my best commitment in the class. Moreover, the class was not like secondary schools, it’s more fun and not too bored. We can sing, dance, acting, and many more.

The reading session, for the expert student I think it’s too simple for them, but for me it still complicated.
I try to read and learn more correct pronunciation to be better in my reading. Miss Rajina as my class lecture teaches me how to read as professional person. I like this and I think my reading skills was improve and became better than what I am before.
Writing?. When I heard about writing, I usually say “urgh!!!” . I really don’t like it. But a miracle was happened. When I join this class I like writing. And my friends were really shocked about it. Writing trained me to create ideas and completed my grammar to be the better.
Listening. I like it, because I’m still old in fashion in my listening skills. It makes me be better in my listening skills. I’ll try to catch up and understand what the communicator tries to say. I’ve learned more vocabulary and the slang. But I still confuse about it.
Speaking. This session trained me to be more confident when I talk about something. I really felt nerves when I talk especially in front of the audience. After join this I become a new person. I’m confident when I talk and no more nerves.
Vocabulary. Talk about vocabulary, I’m still weakness in that. When I joined this class I’ve learned more vocabulary and new word that I’ve never heard before.
Making presentation. Making presentation is so hard. We must create the best one because we have to take the audience attention and don’t make them feel bored. This session tell me that the cooperation in work team is so important. We have to manage the group participation to find the information and give ideas. Besides, It trained students to be confident and be more active in their work.
Participating discussion. It’s more like as making presentation .It tell me that participation in all the activities are very important because it gave more benefit and extra experience to enter the new world. I think I be the better now. I confident to give my ideas and my opinion.

About the class

The activity that I really like is drama. Drama trained me to be confident on stage and do not to shy. I’ve to be patience because in drama there are more stress and problem to handle. All of this is about the commitment. The entire student must understand that drama is so hard. To make it perfect, we’ve to practice as usual as we can. Practice make perfect. If one of the actress or the actor was not there, so we can’t practice. And may be certain entire student felt down and our drama was bad. It’s like a child drama. Do you want it happen?. So, the commitment is very important for all of us to make something done as what we want. And may be one of us can be the actor or actress in Malaysia one day. I really hope that all of us could give their best commitment and wish you good luck in our show…. Thank you..

The activity that I disliked is Longman program. I know it really good for us but it’s too complicated. Actually, I like it but the place. We have to go to library lab and done the project. The place is too small and we have to waiting for a long time to wait for our turn. The lab could not give their best service because of this. We have to challenge about more than hundred students to do this project. I suggest that the management department could solve this problem. Thank for the attention, it is for our benefit.

Thank you…
